b Gas Trustees

There was an immense amount OF gos-
sip and comment yesterday over the re-
suit of the election for Gas Trustees. The
unhappiness of the Republicans was fully
as conspicuous as on the previous evening,
while the situation was rather enjoyable to
Others. The unexpected result of the cleo
ton was the theme of about all the con
versation at the City Hall during the day.
The composition of the Board upset the
plans of some OF the candidates for office
and they had to do some lively hustling
during the day to recover the ground which
they had lost. The Trustees have not as
vet filed their bond with the City Clerk.

A Strange Discovery.
TNatchitoches Review.1

While digging near cistern on the
plantation of Mr.. r. b. Williams near
Montgomery one day last week, some
colored men discovered stone Jar
carefully sealed, and they thought IL
contained money. Upon investigation,
however, 1t was found to contain out>
ter. and one of the old hands on the
place identified the jar as one that was
buried by former owner of the plan-
tation, Mr.. Pipes, more than II years
ago.
This gentleman used every summer
TO bury a jar Of butter near the eisiern
where it remained till winter. The
straugest thing is that the butter which
the Jar ia question contained. was in
perfect state Of preservation, as sweet,
and apparently as fresh, as when 1t
came out OF the churn.
This incident suggests mode Of
preserving butter which 1t might be
well to try.
